.htaccess deny from all doesn't work

[Jurist]

Hello,

 

How to properly edit .htaccess for subdomain to make it allow connections only from specific ip addresses?

 

when I add:

 

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from xx.xxx.xxx.xx

Allow from xx.xxx.xxx.xx

 

only part of website is blocked.

 

I have test site in:

 

sub.mydomain.com

 

and it reads part of code from production store which is on:

 

www.mydomain.com

 

How do I make every resource loaded from www.mydomain.com be first redirected to sub.mydomain.com and then be checked for permissions?

 

I think I should add condition which redirects no matter what, www or nonwww http or https to https://sub.mydomain.com

This should also resolve problem with redirect chains. 

 

I will appreciate any reply.

Okay so I've managed to sort this out: 

 

My php interpreter was cgi and I needed to install FPM to make .htaccess rules actually work. 

After installing proper package and switching site to use FPM .htaccess deny allow works as intended.

 

Hope that helps anyone.
